Exploring Writing Process


        To get a better grasp of what a real life crime scene investigator does I decided to have an interview with a forensic science professional who also teaches an introductory course at Michigan State for criminology and forensic science. Mr. Allen is a sheriff for the Macomb County Police Department for many years. During his classes he would elaborate on some of his different experiences he has had while on the job. I was very excited to interview him because he would be a great primary source for what actually goes on at a crime scene.  Unfortunately, he was unable to meet this week but I plan on having an interview next week after my class with him. These are some of the questions I planned on asking him.
           
1.     What kinds of writing documents do you have to do in your job?
2.     Are most of the documents you have to write up now electronically?
3.     Has your writing process changed over the years?
4.     How is your style in reports? Do you pay attention to who your audience is?
5.     Are there some reports you are less formal? And if so explain why.
6.     Is there a revision process in your formal writings?
7.     Do you find that writing reports are difficult or tedious?
8.     Are there deadlines for your writings that you have to keep in mind?
